Neji- He's got the byuakagon/hes an amazing fighter and is very good at sensing things

Shino- If u remember back to the 2nd chunin exam he is able to tell where people are miles away and how many of them there are/His bugs/I have a feeling that hes a alot stronger than we anime watchers are led to believe

Shikamaru- He cound use his kagemane to make the opponents not move so the others can easily finish them off/He's a brillant stratigist

I wouldnt pick garaa cause hes too unreliable, i wouldnt pick hinata cause neji is her plus 10 times more, i wouldnt pick kiba cause although he has a good nose the others have better sensing abalities, i wouldnt pick ino or sakura cause they're not that good and ino's tecnique isnt that great, i wouldnt pick choi cause hes just a fatass who cant do anything right, i wouldnt pick kankuro cause all hes got is that doll, i wouldnt pick tenten cause all she has is aim, and finally temari is actually really good and useful and it was hard not picking her but i thought the others were better.

ky_khor, for crying out loud... put your post in spoiler tags. You spent all that time building that reply but you didn't even realize a lot of what you said should be hidden anyway. This doesn't have a [manga] stamp on it. That goes for a lot of you too... I'm surprised no mods have swept down yet.

Naruto - you'll need his power in certain situations. He won't do well to begin with, but when it gets tough, he'll still be around taking hits. Get him pissed off and he'll start pwning whoever he's fighting.

Spoiler:

Given chapter 215 of the manga, I could throw in Gaara instead of Naruto. Gaara has regained some mental stability and is more versatile, mostly because he doesn't have to be pushed to the limit to be effective. Assuming that Gaara can work with the rest of this team, he'd be an excellent powerhouse.

Neji - definitely need his Byakugan for sure. His scouting plus his technical ability are a huge plus. I'll pick Neji over Hinata any day; Hinata's not conditioned for battle, even if she's found new strength thanks to Naruto.

Shikamaru - need his tactical abilities. He can make use of everything he's got... plus his shadow copy jutsu is useful in most situations.

Sasuke (sans curse seal) - Also decent tactical abilities. He can act as a Kakashi replacement and be the team's "technician" - able to learn and utilize different jutsu. Also a taijutsu expert.

Temari - An intelligent ninja overall, plus a good ranged attack that can be devastating to an opponent (Tenten saw it).

Spoiler:

Given the recent chapters in the manga, uhh, yeah, she can own anyone. Plus she was able to put Shikamaru's analysis to good use, which shows she is a genius in some ways as well.

gaara and itachi would wander the world, killing people and singing show tunes. and on the occasion they need to excape an attack, they can use any of the other 3 for kawari no jutsu rather than wasting a log.

Naruto (Kyuubi nothing. Gamabunta is de' boss.)
Gaara (And Gamabunta's kid sidekick, the sand wonder)
Chouji (Need to have his dad teach him the gojira trick, but he's part way there)
Lee (Not REALLY a part of this, since if he uses his most destructive technique he will probably die, but still in a pinch)
... (hey ma, look! no shikamaru!)

Overall: (This is assumeing everyone shuts up and listens to shika)

Neji- (Scouting, Hand to hand (bloody death touch), Morale officer)

Shikamaru- (Planning, Captures, Productivity)

Temari- (Long range, Genjitsu (well, in the anime, she can vanish and reappear. In the manga....heh, well you should know what she can do if you read the manga 214+), Looks good in miniskirt/'company tail')
